    This is a brilliant fight; one in which I never imagined both parties would agree. Gut feeling is going with Dubois but that could well easily change!

    The gloves are off should be comedy gold- it will be like watching Trigger from only fools conversing with a lamp post

    I agree on Joyce. DD I think is a genuinely nice lad and that's how they should be pitching him, much as Frank Bruno was years ago.

    If it's not a good press conference I honestly don't see the point in fighting.

    Wow. Some good news for the division for once. Could it be....two heavyweights wanting to fight each other? No! That would be ludicrous!

    This is refreshing for us all that the heavyweight division isn't all coward central as we've seen in the past few weeks and months (We've had Wilder ducking both AJ and Fury, Ortiz ducking AJ today, Kownacki ducking AJ a few days ago). I thought we were all living in some fantasy where nobody fights each other, but it seems Dubois and Joyce aren't chickens unlike the rest thankfully.

    Unfortunately though, Dubois isn't ready despite his bravery. Joyce is arguably the most experienced heavyweight in the game right now, he's done it all pretty much as an amateur. And that will tell, Dubois is getting knocked out I think. Be a decent fight in the early rounds though.

    If Dubois does win though, the division should be worried because beating Joyce is no easy feat.

    Brave move from both teams
    Joyce stops him late though
    He is ready to challenge for belts now imo

    Yep very brave from both. Respect as neither really need this fight right now...Joyce could have taken as easier path. In fact for Joyce I think it's a bad move, he needs to be looking beyond a British title and looking for a top 10-15 opponent next....plus the fact Dubois is a top prospect...if he loses its s big set back.

    Dubois risks his 0 but it's not a big deal unless he gets totally embarrassed he has plenty of career left.

    If Dubois lands like Stiverne did early then Joyce might go to sleep. Daniel right hand is monstrous.

    Loving this fight between two fighters I rate. I am torn and undecided who I think will win and who I want to win this one.

    I do not see the point of this fight at the moment. A Joyce win does little for him, but DD has potential but does not need huge step up, as even an unlikely win would push him into other fights he is probably not ready for.

    But maybe something that we do not know? Maybe DD has something wrong with him and there is a need to get as much out of him asap?
